| I wonder if it would be possible to do a GUI mostly-drop-in replacement for ncurses. Immediate advantages, at least for me: - a possibility to use proportional fonts, it's more pleasant for me and increases content density - borders and other decorations could be smaller, increasing density - smooth scrolling could be implemented, which is nice - it could better integrate with desktop environment Possible and very much desired extensions: - basic image and video support - possibility to use different font sizes It would still be limited to a coarse grid, but that's what makes development easy. I never looked beyond superficial it's possible or easy enough to do. I also don't have much experience, beyond basics with ncurses. |
